Someone tell me what wrong with my real car

Help

You need a tune up, my man

The car is missing.

If that is a v8 - I bet you are on 6 right now based on the description you are giving.

Temp sensor fell off? If you have a hole where there is supposed to be vacuum that would cause lack of power.

Get video of the motor with and without you pulling the throttle cable.

Rough idling issues are almost always related to emissions components. Ie; the path air takes to go through your engine. And those components are also the ones to trip the check engine light most frequently. I would put my money on the MAF (mass airflow meter). This device sits right after the air filter assembly and "meters" how much air the engine receives by adjusting a flap.

I've got a BMW also but I havent had this problem.
Hope this helps.

The temperature sensor is literally right next to the left front wheel. It's a weird location and its electrical so I don't think thats the problem.

Lives 5 minutes from me and also drives a bimmer

My dad thinks its the MAF now, but he's taking it to the shop in a few minutes.

My dad is gonna take it to the shop soon I think and hopefully it isn't a cylinder.

If its a cylinder down, it still could be related to the spark.

Sounds like the turbo pipe may have a split in it or has disconnected. I had the same issue with my 5 series (when I had one). If it is that then it's only a minor fix

lol everything you described from the rough idle to the sluggish acceleration sounds just like my Lincoln right now, but i know mine is a case of the transmission needs servicing, but for a bimmer, couldnt tell ya for sure without driving it myself

I think the wibbing pin fell out of the wobbling shaft. That's what my guess is.

That or the flux capacitor could be bad.

hahahahaha

Rowdy was right!!

Lol it was the Ignition coil, idk if anyone said that or not.

That would be car is missing, not firing......
